This message came as an email forward from a friend. Good thinking points that can be argued in many different directions! What are your thoughts?
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn`t eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of god and religion silenced.
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
What stands out to me in this goofy analysis is the difference between self-reliance and dependence. We've hit a point of government dependence in our great nation where about 50% of Americans pay no income/payroll taxes yet have the ability to vote themselves benefits. All the while, they don't understand that when they punish the corporations or small business job creators, they're voting to ship jobs overseas, to lower wages and to raise the cost of American goods.
I agree wholeheartedly with the email 'forward' from one of your friends. I haven't received that specific email, but the theme of it is important. We should each ask ourselves the following question? Do you make decisions about what is best for you and your family...or do you expect someone else (your government) to make all the decisions for you, as well as support you (and your family)?
